The Waynesville Inn Golf Resort & Spa operates two nine-hole courses—Dogwood and Blue Ridge—that can be combined for an eighteen-hole round in the mountains of western North Carolina. Tom Jackson designed the layout, which occupies rolling terrain in the Waynesville area near the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains. The property sits at elevation in the Blue Ridge range, where the natural topography provides both movement through the holes and views of the surrounding peaks. The Dogwood nine and Blue Ridge nine each offer distinct characteristics shaped by the mountain landscape. Players encounter elevation changes, doglegs that follow the contours of the land, and greens positioned to take advantage of natural slopes. The course fits within the resort setting, serving both guests and local members with a layout that balances accessibility with the challenges inherent to mountain golf—uneven lies, carries over lower ground, and approach shots that must account for uphill or downhill angles. The Waynesville Inn itself has a long history as a mountain resort destination, and the golf course contributes to the property's appeal for visitors exploring the western North Carolina highlands. The combination of nines allows for variety in routing and pace, and the setting provides a mountain golf experience without the severity found at some higher-elevation courses in the region. The layout reflects the practical design approach common to resort courses built to accommodate a range of skill levels while making use of the available land.
